Driving license away for knife offenders: Berlin's new strategy against violence!

In a breathtaking incident in Berndorf, a 25-year-old man without a driver's license gave a wild persecution by over 100 km/h through the village after being followed by the police. The accused, whose girlfriend was heavily drunk and could not drive him home, took her car without permission. When he saw the police, he put gas in panic, ran red traffic lights and endangered other road users. According to statements by witnesses and police officers, he not only put himself in danger, but also others by heading for a patrol car, which forced the driver to avoid. Finally, he fled on foot, but was sentenced to nine months of imprisonment, which is a long way off his chance of a driver's license, such as Noen reported.

Meanwhile, Berlin is fighting a worrying increase in knife attacks. In 2023 there was an increase of five percent to 3482 incidents reported, which made the topic a political priority. Senator of the interior Iris Spranger suggests to withdraw the knife-substitute of the driver's license in order to contain violence. Based on the so -called “Berlin strategy”, particularly violent perpetrators who use knives several times are classified as unsuitable for leading a vehicle. An expert from Spranger's team explained that paragraphs 69 and 69a of the Road Traffic Act could be used for this. The idea of using the driver's license as an additional pressure on multi -fachters is intended to help break the violent spiral in the capital. These measures are to be implemented together with an improved exchange of information between the authorities in order to proceed more effectively against knife violence, such as "https://www.bild.de/regional/berlin-be-der-smesser-ist-der-lappe-weg-6735e7a4df5150639052" Bild reported.
